In the state of mass we needd 8000 hours of on the job training plus 600 hours of code class hours before we can take the jouryman exam. To get the masters you need a year of working in the trade once you have your jouryman ticket plus another 150 hours of masters code class. After 5 years i have 6002 hours andd 450 code class hours. It took a little more time cause construction in western mass is a little slow.Thats it in a nutshell for the state of mass. Good luck and keep plugging away,

5yrs and only 6000hrs?! wow, that is slow considering:
40hrs/wk x 52 weeks = ~2000hrs/yr. so 4yrs = 8000hrs.
That's why i was surprised about the
5yr AND 8000hr rule for aprenticeships. you're basically working an extra year at apprenticeship benefits?
as for bachelor's degree, what other degrees besides electrical engineer allows me to take the Journeyman test?
